ok, I understand now. There's actually no real fluctuation, since I only
add content, but do not delete anything.

Is that possible already? From my understanding 8-CURRENT creates pools
with version13 atm.

would be nice to test that, but I just recognized that my xen play

time to fix that, regard this problem as 'unimorrtant' ;-))

Anyway I will give you feedback, when I managed to repair it.
